Contact us!
It is always beneficial to contact us prior to bringing us an animal. The shelter is regularly at capacity, so please contact us to check if it's possible for us to receive the animal, and also so we can prepare for their arrival.
Fill out our form
Fill out our form
We have a form that needs to be filled out anytime we take an animal into our possession. This can be done through email before arrival or during your visit. There is also a $50 fee which will help cover the medical expenses of the animal that we will be responsible for. If it is not possible to pay our fee we ask if a donation can be made in the form of supplies to the shelter; such as food, blankets, cleaning supplies etc.

Once the animal is in our possession we are unable to give updates on the animal's status. As much as we would like to, we would never get any work done! We understand that people are very curious and would love to be informed but it is just not possible.

In the case of a feline, if they are feral or semi-feral, it is best that you contact Molly's Dream or Feral Felines. Our organization is not equipped to provide the best care for animals that are not ready to be handled.
